As can be seen there is a nearby pavilion that is a wayspot. There is a picnic table underneath. However, this picnic table is not the focus, the pavilion is. My picnic area I nomination is distinct, and seperated by 75 feet.
There are other picnic areas nearby, but they are located more than 400 and 600 feet away respectively.
As can be seen on google street view, my nomination is clearly present: Google Maps
I can realize my appeal info was a bit sparse, but this is blatantly incorrect. I can’t even tell which wayspot is the “duplicate.”
I wish for this appeal decision to be reversed, as I would go re-nominate it, but it lies 400 miles away. Niantic Tintino has requested for incorrect appeal decisions to be reported on the forums for the improved accuracy of the appeals team.
Thank you.
